is coming very soon, I think. I have a feeling these protests will spread like a wildfire from LA across the nation. This Nazi shit can't go on much longer without massive unrest nationwide. An inciting incident like the torture and murder of Masha Aminin in Iran over the hijabs seems inevitable. It seems pretty clear they want it to happen. Martial law? Fuck 'em-they can't kill all of us.

That is exactly what I'm thinking and seeing. Punching a grandmother with your rifle butt and knocking her out is COMPLETELY UNCALLED FOR. Who are these cowards? Who is raiding a grade school graduation ceremony?

Indeed, we are boiling up to a huge disaster.

I'm glad I can hide inside my little silo but I am married to an immigrant who is naturalized and walks around with brown skin all the time. He's abroad right now and I want to see him again. And, not in jail for the crime of being a citizen traveling abroad with brown skin. He's the breadwinner so if he doesn't work, we will lose everything. This house, this life, this location. Where do they deport a US citizen to?

Yes, I believe the breaking point is now or very soon! All I could do was not to cry when the witness described ICE showing up at the elementary school during their graduation. So cruel. How can we stop this? It’s inhumane. Is this what we’ve become?

Collectively, as a nation, this is who we are now. That's why we have that sick feeling every day.

sometime soon. Schumer and Jeffries have been uninspiring. EVERY DAY the gangster regime is trampling on Americans' constitutional rights and EVERY DAY, Jeffries and Schumer should be telling the American people there WILL BE A RECKONING and the criminals will be held accoutable when the rule of law is re-established in this country.

Younger, passionate, unafraid.

Edit: to add Chris Murphy, my senator, and his RI colleague Sheldon Whitehouse.

... reeks of the gagging stench of Stephen Miller, AKA Joseph Goebbels reincarnated. The magnitude of his evil can only be measured is astronomical terms. Few, if any, will mourn his passing, which I hope is slow, agonizing, and soon. He is a psychotic monster.

to all school functions and ceremonies.
Or maybe transfer school functions and ceremonies to churches, using them as sanctuaries.
